'Beckham was not penalized on the play. He could face a fine for the swing, although the NFL will not disclose fine information from last Sunday's games until Friday.''

'Wood signed with the Bills the next day and had to play a preseason game the following night in Cleveland. He tried to get as much of the playbook down that he could in just one day. Of course, that wasn’t easy, but he finished the game with three carries for six yards and caught one pass for another ten yards. When I asked him if he was told to just “run left and run right” that night, he laughed and recalled one play when he had to pass protect for Bills QB EJ Manuel. “I didn’t know what to do,” he said. “I looked at EJ after we broke the huddle and whispered, ‘pssst, what do I do?’ EJ turned around and just said, ‘pass protect to my right.’ “'

'In the midst of the loss to the Giants you may have felt like the defense had a terrible day. It didn't. Sure the Nigel Bradham missed tackle goes as a big mark against, and the run defense could certainly improve, but for the most part, I'd say the All-22 shows a solid performance against Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. OBJ is a dominant force in the league, and while the Giants attempted to establish his presence in the game, it never truly materialized. The Bills locked him up, particularly when matched against the corners on the outside.'

'Gray suffered a broken forearm in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. He will not be able to play again this season after being placed on IR.'

'The Bills will have running backs in for a workout with only Boobie Dixon and Cierre Wood available. Whaley called former Bill and current free agent Bryce Brown "a possibility."'

'Herron was released from the Colts after suffering a shoulder injury in the team's preseason finale.'

After 4 weeks I’m still not really sure about the Bills. I want to believe that they are talented enough and on the right track to make the playoffs, but being beaten by New England and New York is worrisome at best. The next 3 week will tell us a lot about who the Bills.

'Despite the fact that Mariota has only played three games, he’s among the league leaders already in passer rating, yards per attempt, and touchdown passes.'

'Herron has played in 25 career games, starting three, and racking up 389 yards and one touchdown on 87 carries. He has also caught 22 passes for 230 yards. The 26-year old originally entered the league as a sixth round pick (191st overall) of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2012 NFL Draft.'
